(1)The dollar amounts reported in column (b) are the amounts of total compensation reported for Rafael Santana (our Principal Executive Officer ”PEO“) for each corresponding year in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table. Refer to “Executive Compensation—Executive Compensation Tables—Summary Compensation Table.”

(2)The dollar amounts reported in column (c) represent the amount of “compensation actually paid” to Mr. Santana, as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The dollar amounts do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to Mr. Santana during the applicable year. In accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the following adjustments were made to Mr. Santana’s total compensation for the most recent fiscal year to determine the compensation actually paid (see our spring 2024 proxy statement for adjustments made for prior years in the table above:

(a)The grant date fair value of equity awards represents the total of the amounts reported in the “Stock Awards” column in the Summary Compensation Table for the most recent fiscal year.

(b)The equity award adjustments for each applicable year include the addition (or subtraction, as applicable) of the following: (i) the year-end fair value of any equity awards granted in the applicable year that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the year; (ii) the amount of change as of the end of the applicable year (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value of any awards granted in prior years that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the applicable year; (iii) for awards that are granted and vest in same applicable year, the fair value as of the vesting date; (iv) for awards granted in prior years that vest in the applicable year, the amount equal to the change as of the vesting date (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value; (v) for awards granted in prior years that are determined to fail to meet the applicable vesting conditions during the applicable year, a deduction for the amount equal to the fair value at the end of the prior fiscal year; and (vi) the dollar value of any dividends or other earnings paid on stock or option awards in the applicable year prior to the vesting date that are not otherwise reflected in the fair value of such award or included in any other component of total compensation for the applicable year. The valuation assumptions used to calculate fair values did not materially differ from those disclosed at the time of grant. The amounts deducted or added in calculating the equity award adjustments for the most recent fiscal year are as follows:

(3)The dollar amounts reported in column (d) represent the average of the amounts reported for the Company’s named executive officers (NEOs) as a group (excluding Mr. Santana, who has served as our CEO since July 2019) in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table in each applicable year. The names of each of the NEOs (excluding Mr. Santana) included for purposes of calculating the average amounts in each applicable year are as follows: (i) for 2023, John Olin, David L. DeNinno, Pascal Schweitzer, and Eric Gebhardt; (ii) for 2022, John Olin, David L. DeNinno, Pascal Schweitzer, and Eric Gebhardt; (iii) for 2021, John Olin, David L. DeNinno, Pascal Schweitzer, Eric Gebhardt, Patrick D. Dugan; and for 2020, Patrick D. Dugan, David L. DeNinno, Pascal Schweitzer, Nicole Theophilus, Albert J. Neupaver, and Scott E. Wahlstrom.

(4)The dollar amounts reported in column (e) represent the average amount of “compensation actually paid” to the NEOs as a group (excluding Mr. Santana), as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The dollar amounts do not reflect the actual average amount of compensation earned by or paid to the NEOs as a group (excluding Mr. Santana) during the applicable year. In accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the following adjustments were made to average total compensation for the NEOs as a group (excluding Mr. Santana) for the most recent fiscal year to determine the compensation actually paid, using the same methodology described above in Note 2:

2024$5,185,097$3,150,561$—$191,268-$449,980$8,508$8,085,454

(a) The dollar amount reported excludes $1,703,087 of awards granted in 2024 to Ms. Theophilus that were also forfeited in connection with her departure from the Company.

(5)Cumulative TSR for the Company is calculated by dividing the sum of the cumulative amount of dividends for the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and the difference between the Company’s share price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period by the Company’s share price at the beginning of the measurement period based on a deemed fixed investment of $100 at the beginning of such period.

(6)Represents the weighted peer group TSR, weighted according to the respective companies’ stock market capitalization at the beginning of each period for which a return is indicated. The 2024 Peer Group is largely the same as the 2023 Peer Group, except that BorgWarner Inc. and Terex Corporation were removed from the Peer Group and Jacobs Solutions Inc. and Snap-on Incorporated were added to the Peer Group. The Compensation Committee believes that these minor refinements resulted in a Peer Group that better reflects the Company's evolving business and executive talent market. The peer group used for this purpose is our peer group of manufacturing companies which consists of the following publicly traded companies: AGCO, AMETEK, CSX, Dover, Eaton Corporation, Emerson Electric, Illinois Tool Works, Ingersoll-Rand, Jacobs Solutions, Norfolk Southern, Oshkosh, Parker-Hannifin Corporation, Rockwell Automation, Snap-On Inc, Stanley Black & Decker, Textron, Timken Company, Transdigm Group, and Xylem.

(7)The 2023 peer group used for this purpose was our peer group of manufacturing companies which consists of the following publicly traded companies: AGCO, AMETEK, Borg Warner Inc, CSX, Dover, Emerson Electric, Fortive Corp, Greenbrier, Howmet Aerospace, Illinois Tool Works, Ingersoll-Rand, Norfolk Southern, Oshkosh, Parker-Hannifin Corporation, Rockwell Automation, Terex Corp, Textron, Trinity Industries, and Xylem.

(8)Both the Total Shareholder Return and the 2024 Peer Group Total Shareholder Return for 2023 were corrected due to a calculation error that did not impact any of the amounts for prior years.

(9)The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of net income excluding non-controlling interest reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements for the applicable year.

(10)EPS means our “adjusted earnings per diluted share” calculated as U.S. GAAP earnings per diluted share, adjusted for non-cash amortization expense and certain restructuring costs. This is a non-GAAP financial measure. See page A-1 for a reconciliation to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated under GAAP.
